I've read this question and I generally try to follow the ideas from Toms answer, but I have a problem with one thing.
How can I write my program so that it will treat command line arguments as UTF8 encoded?
It looks that I have two options:
- use -CA option to perl
- use PERL5OPTS env variable.
The problem is that I write my perl programs with shebang:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
as perl is in different locations on various systems I'm using.
This means - I can't use -CA option (or I don't know how, as #!/usr/bin/env perl -CA doesn't work.
I would also prefer to avoid having to specify special env vars before calling the script.
Is my only hope "manual" decoding of @ARGV, like:
use Encode;
@ARGV = map { decode( 'utf8', $_ ) } @ARGV;
or is there some better/nicer way?
